This is an extract from a demo project I am working on using Infraworks 360, this software is part of a suite including Autocad, Civil 3D, Autocad Map 3D and others. By selecting an area on a map, much like Google earth, the software will extract base information to start a project by integrating roads, waterways, topographic data and if available buildings in 3D, you can take it to Civil 3D for design work and then export it back to update the presentation, more tools are available to do more design works and you can also integrate objects coming from other softwares, either GIS, Surfer or 3D Studio.

A pic of a preliminary, very preliminary design made in Infra 360, this design can then be exported to Civil 3D to do a proper design, I still have to work on this, right now it was more like just playing and fooling around with it, placing a few things, Actually this version has three modules : roads, bridges and river works, You place some areas assigning it some future uses, you can import as I did a building and build some overpass or bridges, I've also placed some culverts and modified elevation of different instances, eventually I will show more detailed operations, export to Civil 3D to refine the design and take it back here for final presentation, at this point though I am more or less just playing with it...

Another short test, these will be updated, annotated and included in the course content I am offering, here the screen showed applied to some functions used for the creation of parcels to be developed, one small aspect of the numerous functions included in Civil 3D

Il y aura aussi des écrans de saisie qui viendront illustrer certains concepts, le cours autocad standard est plus avancé, celui-ci est en développement. The will also be printscreens to illustrate some additional concepts, my Autocad standard cours is well advanced, this one is more in a development stage.
